Put your trust in your mechanic, but keep your powder dry.

An employee at a car repair shop in Melbourne 'fessed up to taking a customer's BMW for a spin -- all the way to Orlando -- and then wreaked havoc on the vehicle ... twice, cops said, reports WESH ABC News-2 in Orlando.

The BMW's owner reportedly told WESH the worker had permission to do this.
